I made application to take CPJE in early Nov, having mailed all the materials to California Board of Pharmacy. It is about a month and a half, no information whatsoever from the board of pharmacy. So frustrated, don't know how long I need to wait. Anybody knows?

I did not find the "scheduling the cpje" tab but " register for a test" tab. But it did not let me to register or do any thing. The website has a link to check my record. But it requires to enter "DCA_BPH_ID_Number". What is that?? Looks like it is not SSN. Anyone can help?? Thanks

Wzhaoucla, I say give it a few more weeks unfortunately. When I applied last year, it took me a little over a month to hear back...BUT that was before Schwarzenegger mandated the board to furlough hours. So as you can imagine, the already short staffed agency is going to take even longer processing apps. Also, keep in mind that they also took a few days off in Nov for Thanksgiving. You can give the Board a call since it's probably been >30 days since you applied, but they are a painful batch to handle (nasty, nasty, typical lazy gov't employees...). I say use the extra time to study and prepare . You'll do fine!
